I was reading stuff from Robert and Sheila....and just remember that I forgot how well Ho-Ching used to cook. I guess part of the reason was because she was already sick and didn't cook all that much when I got to know her. I am just not all that into eating, but somehow people around me those years were usually those who enjoy food a lot. I remember how Ho-Ching's face would just light up when she talks about food. I used to get very entertained about it.
I am just gonna attach some stuff Robert and Sheila wrote here so you all get to see how everyone misses Ho-Ching. I am sure there are more from others but this is just a glimpse.
Here is something Sheila wrote.
我幾乎每天晚上都會作夢；醒過來後，卻常常煙消雲散，忘記夢見的內容。星期六的晚上，整晚夢的都是荷晴，醒來後，夢境卻還是歷歷在目︰我夢見從前跟荷晴一起去玩過的地方、我夢見她那常掛臉上的笑容。 荷晴是我來到加州第一位認識的朋友。我們一起做的第一件事就是去逛大華、買波霸奶茶。後來拉肚子，她還給我藥吃。在她面前，第一次的見面，卻好像是家人一樣地親切。 荷晴是個好廚師。她會隨手煮些家常菜，我們吃來卻一點都不輸懷念的家鄉味；因為吃進去的不只是她煮的好味道，還有她那善解人意的"分享"。 荷晴是個好遊伴。她有清楚的方向感，而且她總是先我們一步知道哪裡好玩，然後扮演嚮導的角色，帶著我們去探險。跟荷晴在一起，永遠不會有"無聊"的時候。 荷晴是個好聽眾。她會觀察你，看見你的心事和憂慮。然後她會聽你傾訴、陪你分析事情的利弊。有智慧的荷晴，會用她那特有的幽默，化解你心中的煩惱。 荷晴生病，不是一件新聞。第一次見到她，就發現她走路比較慢。尤其是上下樓時，她會叫我們先走，然後她再慢慢地跟上。後來，荷晴的病愈來愈嚴重了，她瘦得只剩原來一半的體重，走路也愈來愈蹣跚。可是，我不記得曾經聽荷晴抱怨過她的病。我記得的，全是荷晴開朗的笑，還有她那積極、正面的思想。 這就是荷晴。她短暫卻豐富的生命，留給我們的，是這麼健康、開朗的印象，成為我們眾人的祝福。荷晴，謝謝妳，and 再見！如今，我深信妳是蒙了憐憫，要脫去肉身的束縛，去永恆裡等待我們所確知的再相遇。我也為所有荷晴所愛、也愛她的人禱告，唯願這"信"也在你們心中，所以你們也可因這盼望而得安慰。

I got to know a lot of non-believers through Ho-Ching. I became friends with quite a number of them through her. I remembered how she always tried to pull them to Christian events and our concerts. I am sure Ho-Ching really made a difference in their lives. Mom told me maybe her death would be a start to lead them to Christ. I certainly hope her testimony as a Christian would affect those who are not in the family yet.
